Citadel 1911's are made by Armscorp in the Philippines. Their pistols are pretty much the same as those sold by Rock Island Armory and Charles Daley. The Armscorp frames are cast, the slides are 4140 extruded steel.

I've never seen a Citadel in person, but if they're anything like the RIA pistols, they should be selling in the $600 - $800 range and be pretty decent guns for the price.

yeah i was told they are like 700$

Not a bad price for an Armscorp pistol. Although, for a few hundred less you can get an Armco tuned Norinco which, other than the finish, is likely the equal of any Armscorp 1911. Just a thought...
